Jim:
The correct response to your last sentence.....in two words.... is HELL NO.
Any reasonable ham radio operator knows that /QRP is not part of ANY call
sign throughout the world. It is just additional ruffage that in fact is
useless.
The station's call sign DOES NOT include that /QRP suffix. Some ops
will give you their call sign as, for example, "RA0xxx/Vlad". Would
you log all of that?? I don't think so.
You are not required to log 'things' that are appended to the call sign
which are considered 'descriptive' additions.
